[Setup] ImportError: cannot import name datetime

[Nicolas Höning]

Hi

I have a problem installing plone3 on my Ubuntu PC.
My buildout.cfg file only specifies LinguaPlone and
myplonesite.policy, myplonesite.theme and myplonesite.content as
additional eggs.

Running bin/instance [foreground], I get:

nnn at fidel:/media/data/projects/gg/z3/trunk$ bin/instance foreground
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: cannot import name datetime

I added a trace just before the failing line to check the path, and I get:

ImportError: 'cannot import name datetime'

Of course, datetime.so is within /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload, so I
don't quite understand why this error would be thrown.
Any help is appreciated.
